Angier and Cabot Elementary schools are the two oldest schools in the district, and Zervas is one of the most crowded, officials say.

The School Committee approved the recommendation at its meeting Monday night, pending the passage of the override.
With a growing student population and fewer classroom spaces available at Bigelow Middle School, the Newton School Committee approved last night a measure that will send all Cabot Elementary School students to F.A. Day Middle School.

The conditions at Cabot Elementary are a concern to many parents, who are hoping the district will prioritize the school as its next project.
While the focus of Monday night's Newton School Committee meeting was the district's three-year, $5.6 million technology plan, a number of other important items came up during the evening including discussion on facilities and buffer zones.
